Sexual harassment and discrimination

Sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace is never tolerable - if you find yourself in an uncomfortable position at your workplace, our employment lawyers are here to help. The wilson/ryan/grose employment lawyers on the Sunshine Coast can help you to claim compensation for any lost income, victimisation, distress, social isolation or suffering that you have endured as a result of workplace sexual harassment and/or discrimination.

Workplace bullying and harassment

Unfortunately, bullying and harassment in the workplace is all too common. If you have been victimised or subjected to recurrent, distressing behaviour in your workplace, regardless of position or standing in the company, we are here to help. The employment law at wilson/ryan/grose can assert your rights, negotiate on your behalf, and represent you in the Fair Work Commission and assist with your WorkCover claims.

Employment policies

Employment policies and procedures create safer, more efficient working environments. Written documents that outline a company’s policy, communicating values, beliefs, and a code of standard can help employees understand what is expected of them, particularly in regard to their behaviour and performance. If a policy is in breach and disputes escalate, the Sunshine Coast employment lawyers at wilson/ryan/grose can step in and mediate.

Employment disputes

At some point in your working life, it is likely that you will experience conflict, and it is the handling of disputes that determines employee and employer responses. Whilst there is a common misconception that employment lawyers should only be engaged in reaction to a complaint, disputes are often prevented by early legal intervention. Our employment lawyers can mediate conflict and help an employer understand employee rights from the onset. Common types of disputes include discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying, general protections/unfair dismissal, the misuse of information or defamation.

At wilson/ryan/grose Sunshine Coast, we take a practical approach to resolving workplace disputes and can deliver a range of solutions, such as:

Advising on workplace policies and rights
Providing dispute resolution measures
Assisting in investigations and disciplinary hearings
Assisting in the preparation of materials when necessary
Representing clients during dispute resolution such as mediation, conciliation, arbitration, and litigation
Drafting settlement documents

Redundancy

Being made redundant or making an employee redundant can be a devastating time for all involved. Often, employers are forced to make their employees redundant when burdened with financial pressures. However, this is not always the case. Regardless of whether the redundancy is voluntary or mandatory, it can sometimes be difficult to prove the genuine nature of the redundancy.

At wilson/ryan/grose Sunshine Coast, we have invaluable experience in assisting employers and employees with everything that redundancy issues entail.

Termination

Termination must be properly navigated in accordance with workplace rights in order to prevent unfair dismissal claims or other claims such as general protections claims and/or discrimination claims or other negative outcomes.

At wilson/ryan/grose, we understand that there are always two sides to every story. While an employer may view the dismissal as reasonable, the employee could maintain an opposing view. In either case, our lawyers at wilson/ryan/grose can determine the nature of your situation and identify the issues and the solutions relating to the termination.
